Chelsea ease past Scunthorpe

10 January 2016

Chelsea moved into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over League One side Scunthorpe United.

The hosts took an early lead when Branislav Ivanovic's cross was diverted in by Diego Costa. Chelsea sealed the win midway through the second half when substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek, in his 11th Blues appearance, netted with his first-ever shot on target for the club.

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink said their opponents made it hard for them: " We had a good celebration now with them in our locker room, they were together with our players which meant that this was a final for them and not just a final but they were having to threat at the corner kicks, they made us a bit shiver."
